Sydney, Austrailia native Noah Thomas caught our attention at Music City Classic in Nashville over the weekend. The 6-foot-2 senior is playing at 22Feet Academy (SC) and played quite well against Mountain Mission (VA). Thomas scored 18 points and knocked down four three-pointers. He said he has offers from Montana State and Canisius. He also has interest from Loyola, Murray State, Cincinnati, UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara.

Antoine Pitts is a kid we featured in a more recent article and his recruitment has really taken off. Several programs from all levels have reached out and the phone has been ringing off the hook for the 6-foot-7 big man at Auburn High School. East Tennessee St, FAMU, Iona, Murray St and Northern Colorado are the division-I programs who have all expressed interest. Playing alongside Mississippi State signee Garrison Brooks has really been positive for Pitts. As we mentioned before, Pitts' athelticism, motor and skill set allows him to be a factor in every game. If he's not scoring around the basket, he's stretching the floor with a three ball. When he's on the defensive end, he's blocking and altering shots around the basket. His abilities and mindset will transfer to the next level as he will be another late bloomer from the "Yellow Hammer State".

Brion Whitley, D3 M.O.A.M., 2017: He’s been playing at HoopSeen events nearly since we launched our site five years ago. So it doesn’t come as a big surprise to see the Floridian do well on a big stage. The 6-foot-3 guard pumped in a cool 30 points on opening night. He’s one of the best scorers in the midrange and off the pull-up in Florida and could be in line for a great weekend of work moving forward here at the TOC. Whitley said he’s holding an offer from Rice while Harvard is very interested. Georgia Southern, Florida Gulf Coast, Lipscomb, VMI and Murray State are also in the picture.
